To investigate the mechanism how CLEC3B regulated HCC, we further screened out the genes (n = 334) strongly correlated with CLEC3B in TCGA-LIHC database, and performed functional enrichment for these genes (Spearman | R | > 0.3 and Pearson | R | > 0.3). This evidence concerns the gene CLEC3B and hepatocellular carcinoma.
